Cel

1. General:- Transport system more efficient (all modes): Eurotoll concerns the whole transport system, because of the important part of road transport within all transport modes (70-80%) and pricing of infrastructure use which can influence transport costs and modal split. The urban context is multimodal (passengers only).- Increase in safety- Environment friendly and sustainable mobility: One of the core objectives of Eurotoll is to assess the potential of toll in sustainable mobility and to identify 'essential' road users .- Interconnection and interoperability: Though an important issue of toll systems, this is only dealt with partly in Eurotoll. However, project liaisons with Telematics Applications projects will be established.- Individual transport mode efficiency: The road system efficiency could be significantly improved through pricing strategies.- Cooperation between different transport modes: Especially in the urban context, the user acceptance of road pricing requires an improvement of the whole transport system.- Infrastructure improvement & integration in the existing environment- Decision support material: Results of case studies and tools will be available to support decision makers.

In the Road sector there are references to the PRIVILEGE project; in Strategic research (area 1.2 ), with the projects PETS, QUITS and TRENEN II. For exchange of information a Joint Scientific Committee has been established. With respect to Urban transport research, there are links with area 5.4. There is a policy link with the Green Paper on Fair and Efficient Pricing in Transport.

Case studies

Altogether 13 case studies in France, Italy, Austria, Germany, Great Britain, Greece and Portugal with a gamut of different objectives to be pursued.
